Suffer the little children – 2

Introduction A few months ago I sent out my first paper on the subject of UK institutional paedophilia. This was a shocking expose of just how involved all levels of the establishment are in paedophile rings, right to the top of the monarchy and Parliament. Although it covered 75 detailed pages, with full references, it was really only an introduction to the subject. It beggars belief to grasp the full extent of the criminality of the establishment. There is no doubt that if the extent of this criminality was known to the public, it would bring the country to its knees; but that is what is necessary to rid institutions of a free reign of abusing children.

However, shortly after I sent out that paper to my circle, the bubble of state secrecy began to burst wide open. This followed the courageous involvement of a group of seven MPs who began to demand answers. This, in turn was subsequent to Labour MP Tom Watson’s questions to David Cameron regarding Westminster paedophile rings (which led to Operations Fairbank / Fernbridge) and then a book by Simon Danczuk MP 1 exposing the child abuse by Sir Cyril Smith in Rochdale which had been long covered up by the police, the council and many people in authority. All of these, of course, resulted from the publicity regarding the full extent of the child abuse of Jimmy Savile.

What is necessary is to get the full story from survivors of child abuse, families of the victims of child abuse, social workers that tried to stop child abuse whose reports were squashed, whistle-blowers and investigative journalists who could not be bribed and gagged. All these have been telling alternative media the same story for decades, a story which (until very recently) mainstream media would not publish and which the establishment dismissed as fantasy. Even today when the Home Secretary has been forced to accept that there is a problem, media outlets like the BBC are still not fully reporting the whole story and protect the guilty senior establishment figures.

The only way to report this continually breaking story (which has yet to fully explode) is to explain the progressive nature of the various components as they appear in the media. This is the opposite of what I did in the previous paper, which gathered decades of old information regarding certain institutions and itemising it, one by one.

This means that the whole story regarding individuals is probably going to explained piecemeal, but it is going to take a few years before historians can gather all the relevant information and collate it properly. We are in the thick of the breaking story right now. In addition, the amount of data is absolutely enormous, going back at least fifty years. However, I will try to group the information together as best as I can.

1 Simon Danczuk MP & Matthew Baker; ‘Smile for the camera: the double life of Cyril Smith’, April 2014. 2 The framework of evidence

Why exposés are necessary? Some may criticise exposés in the alternative media as being unfair, unjust and libellous. Since most of the people accused have not been through the process of a court of law then people like me should just shut up.

This is to completely miss the point and, in fact, to side with criminals of the worst kind. The whole point is that the justice system has been rigged by corruption and has failed to work for decades. Where is the justice for the hundreds of thousands of children who have been abused, sexually abused, raped, tortured and even murdered? Do not these demand justice? To fail to speak up for the defenceless is a much greater sin than demanding a paedophile face justice.

Jimmy Savile alone proves this, but there have been very many others. Paedophiles were either protected (like Savile) by high powers or were given lenient sentences and then allowed to abuse again. Savile’s victims are numbered in the hundreds and yet his child abuse was well known since the 1960s – nobody did anything. This is what is happening right now; VIP paedophiles are literally getting away with murder.

Since the justice system is not working, then alternative media and independent writers need to expose perpetrators of child abuse when there is sufficient evidence. The innocent have nothing to fear and can sue these writers if they choose.

People think that circumstantial evidence is insufficient to prove guilt; this is wrong. Circumstantial evidence is sufficient if there is enough of it. However, if we add to circumstantial evidence eyewitness testimony it is even stronger. If we then add the testimony of multiple witnesses that give the same story then the evidence is unassailable. This is the case with Jimmy Savile; everyone accepts his guilt, due to overwhelming corroborative evidence, but he has not gone through a court process.

This is the case with the people named in this paper. There are some famous names that are named as paedophiles on certain websites, which I have not named because I feel that the evidence is lacking. We need more than a name on a gay-brothel guest list.

Results of the actions of MPs

The Barbara Castle dossier - 1984 This dossier names two familiar MPs as paedophiles, Sir Rhodes Boyson and Sir Keith Joseph. 2

The dossier was drawn up by Labour MP Barbara Castle. It also named senior policemen, head teachers and clergy. Special Branch officers seized Baroness Castle’s files in a 1984 raid after Castle handed them to Don Hale, the editor of the Bury Messenger. This followed paedophile MP Cyril Smith demanding that the editor drop the story.

The dossier names Boyson as involved with PIE, which campaigned to legalise sex with children as young as four. Boyson raised funds and drove promotions for PIE, while at the same time he publicly castigated homosexual activities. He also arranged for PIE members to meet influential education figures and distributed the PIE magazine.

The dossier features Keith Joseph several times.

Tom Watson – October 2012 Labour MP Watson is the reason that the Westminster paedophile scandal is only now being given impetus.

In October 2012 Watson stunned Parliament and David Cameron when he claimed in the Commons that a high-profile paedophile network had operated in Westminster and even reached with links to 10 Downing Street. He said that there is, ‘ clear intelligence suggesting a powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and No. 10 ’. 3

This resulted in Operation Fairbank, a scoping exercise, which then led to Operation Fernbridge. Police initially homed in on the Elm Guest House scandals in Barnes, south west London, where VIPs abused boys in the 1970 and 80s.

After this exposure, certain newspapers and particularly Exaro have brought out story after story exposing the VIP paedophile rings reaching to the highest levels of society. It also gave courage and impetus to survivor victims to come forward and give new evidence.

The resurrection of the missing Geoffrey Dickens dossier case I mentioned in my last paper that this (now dead) Tory MP compiled a dossier on VIP paedophiles in the 1980s, including cabinet ministers and high powered people, and gave it to Leon Brittan, then Home Secretary, in 1984. It subsequently vanished. Ever since, Brittan has stated that he has no recollection of receiving the dossier. Dicken’s son, Barry, said that his father affirmed that the dossier would ‘ blow the lid off ’ a secret VIP paedophile network.

Dickens also used parliamentary privilege and named Sir Peter Hayman in the Commons as being a child abuser. He was strenuously warned, before entering the chamber, against doing this by Michael Havers, then attorney general.

2 Daily Mirror; ‘Two Tory ministers were named in a damning 1980s paedophile dossier’, Vincent Moss, Matthew Drake, 19 July 2014. 3 The Week; ‘Westminster Paedophile Claims: was there a cover-up?’, 7 July 2014. 4

Dickens received quite a lot of recriminations for doing this, even though Hayman was effectively a potential serious criminal. Hayman was never charged. Dickens flat was subsequently burgled and searched twice.

Though the alternative media has written about this for decades, the mainstream media has ignored it – until recently. It has now become a big story.

Simon Danczuk MP raised the matter while giving evidence to the House of Commons home affairs committee in June 2014. He explained that Dickens had information about the Paedophile Information Exchange and paedophiles operating a network in Westminster and that he named eight public figures of being paedophiles. He suggested that Leon Brittan be interviewed.

After this Brittan issued a statement on 2 July at 10.30am through his solicitors. Suddenly Brittan said that he knew all about it. He remembered meeting Dickens and getting the dossier and said that it was passed to civil servants and that he told Dickens that he would act on it as necessary. He asked officials to report back to him to see what action was required but no one did. It appears that the dossier has since disappeared. 4

Simon Danczuk said, ‘ The public will not be satisfied with Sir Leon’s glib response ’.

David Cameron asked Mark Sedwill, Home Office permanent secretary, to investigate. Sedwill then revealed that an investigation had already taken place last year and found that 114 files relating to historic allegations of child sex abuse, from between 1979 and 1999, had disappeared.

After this there were a series of stories in the mainstream news media about the Dicken’s dossier and the 114 missing files. Yet alternative media had covered this years ago, perhaps even decades. When investigative journalist websites covered the story, no one cared; when it appeared in the Daily Mail and Daily Mirror, suddenly it became important.

The 114 missing files are thought to names eight leading figures from public life, including senior politicians who were said to be paedophiles ‘ operating and networking within and around ’ the Westminster elite. It is believed that Sir Cyril Smith, Jimmy Savile and Sir Peter Morrison were involved. Police have compiled a list of over ten politicians from the three main parties as being suspects.

Lord Tebbit then admitted that there ‘ may well have been ’ a big political cover-up at the time. He told the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show that the instinct of people at the time was to protect the system and not investigate uncomfortable allegations.

Nearly thirty new informants then made fresh allegations giving evidence to MPs like Simon Danczuk. One former detective told Danczuk that he had been forced to sign a gagging order about his role investigating alleged paedophiles in the government and was frightened about the legal consequences of speaking out.

The 2013 Home Office review This found that there were 13 previously undisclosed items of information about child abuse; four of which implicated Home Office officials. However, it found ‘ no record of specific allegations … of child sex abuse by prominent public figures’ . It said that credible elements of the Dickens dossier that had realistic potential for further investigations were

4 Exaro; ‘Leon Brittan and Home Office issue statements on missing file’, Tim Wood, Mark Conrad, Alex Varley-Winter & David Hencke, 2 July 2014. 5 sent to police and prosecutors, the rest were destroyed. The review found that Brittan had acted appropriately in dealing with the allegations.

The Home Office is appointing a senior independent legal figure to ensure that the conclusions of the internal investigation are sound (see ‘smaller enquiry – Peter Wanless’ later). Danczuk is calling for an amnesty for police officers ands social workers to ensure that they can come forward freely with information without any penalty for breaching secrecy contracts.

Timeline of the dossier and repercussions Date Event Nov 1983 Conservative MP Geoffrey Dickens sends 40 -page dossier to Leon Brittan (Home Secretary) alleging child abuse within Westminster. It contains the names of Cyril Smith and several other senior politicians. Nov 1983 Dickens tells his family that ‘this is going to blow it all apart’. March 1984 Brittan writes to Dickens to say that they dossier has been surveyed by prosecutors and handed to the police. May 1995 Dickens dies. There was no police result to his dossier. Sept 2010 Cyril Smith dies, never having been charged, Sept 2012 The Jimmy Savile child abuse scandal breaks. Oct 2012 Labour MP Tom Watson claims during PMQs that there is ‘cl ear intelligence suggesting a powerful paedophile network linked to Parliament and Number 10’. Nov 2012 Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk uses Parliamentary privilege to claim that Cyrtil Smith sexually abused young boys. Nov 2012 New survivor witnesses of child abuse begin to come forward gving new evidence. Nov 2012 The CPS and Greater Manchester Police admit that Smith should have been prosecuted. Dec 2012 Scotland Yard confirm that Operation Fairbank has been set up to examine allegations surrounding Elm Guest house in Barnes where politicians and VIPs abused boys. Feb 2013 Operation Fernbridge is launched to investigate the paedophile ring operating from Elm Guest house. Dec 2013 Police search the house of Lord Janner as part of an investigation into hist oric child abuse. The peer is not arrested. 2013 Home Office internal review finds no evidence of paedophile politicians. 3 July 2014 It is admitted that the Dickens dossier has disappeared. Brittan changes his story twice over his dealings with it. 5 J uly 2014 Over ten current and former politicians are reported to be on a list of alleged child abusers held by police. 6 July 2014 Home Office permanent secretary Mark Sedwill reveals that 114 files relating to historic allegations of child sex abuse, from between 1979 to 1999, have disappeared from the Home Office. This arises from the 2013 review. July 2014 New enquiry under Peter Wanless to check the 2013 review.

MPs letter to the Home Secretary – 3 June 2014 Seven MPs demanded an overarching Hillsborough type enquiry into possible child sex abuse in an array of English institutions, in a letter to the Home Secretary. Six of them subsequently had a meeting with Theresa May. The signatories were Labour MPs Tom Watson and Simon Danczuk, Liberal Democrats Tessa Munt and John Hemming, Green Party member Caroline Lucas and Tories Tim Loughton (former children’s minister), and Zac Goldsmith. Goldsmith co-ordinated this letter

The basis of their demand was to find answers as to why there had been failures to investigate specific cases properly. They did not want a review of existing enquiries (of which there are many) but a new public evaluation of the facts, specifically investigating police failures to investigate and prosecute. They also want answers to why crucial evidence against prominent people has gone missing or has been destroyed. 6

It also requested a careful correlation of survivor testimonies; indeed they demanded that a survivor be included on the panel.

Subsequently, MP after MP added their name to the demands of the letter, from every political party. Day by day the petition grew until it could not be ignored.

The briefing of Tom Watson MP from activist and retired social worker Chris Fay The essential facts of this briefing can be seen in the interview by Bill Maloney with Chris Fay, which appears on YouTube.

Fay stated that Watson was horrified when he learned the data that he had to share, compiled over decades. Watson was already well informed, so that shows you how bad this data was, which included testimony about a snuff film, in police possession, of the eight- hour torture and decapitation of a young boy. At that time the Metropolitan Police denied that snuff films even existed, despite the fact that their possession of this film has a paper trail from two official sources.

Paedophiles operating within the Home Office - July 2014 One oblique piece of information did come out of this flurry of news reports. It appears that a leader of PIE 5 had his own office in the Home Office building and even used government equipment to copy PIE materials for distribution. 6

Steven Smith was given security clearance at the Home Office despite being chairman of PIE. He worked as an electrical contractor monitoring security alarms for four years in the late 70s to early 80s. Smith later went on the run facing charges over child abuse images. He was jailed in 1991 and again in 2011.

In a book published in 1986 he explains that he was given a room of his own at the Home Office and used it to conceal PIE’s files. Apparently, his job involved virtually no actual work, just monitoring control panels, so he had a furnished office to himself. PIE’s sensitive material was stored there to avoid police raids. Yet Scotland Yard renewed his Home Office clearance year after year. He used a Home Office telephone number as a contact for PIE and published an obscene magazine form the office.

When PIE was exposed by a newspaper in 1982 there was no action taken about Smith’s role at the Home Office (at that point led by Willie Whitelaw). The sensitive files were spirited away before anyone cottoned on.

Another senior PIE official, Barry Cutler also worked at the Home Office in the early 80s, even receiving obscene materials at his work address. He was jailed in 1991.

The new independent Child Sex Abuse enquiry – 7 July 2014 Caving in to the growing numbers of MPs (146) demanding a full public enquiry into child sex abuse, Theresa May relented and promised to consult interested parties and appoint a chairman to a new enquiry. Parliament, the police, schools, churches and the BBC will be included in the investigation.

The enquiry will be able to examine files from the security services and the Tory whip’s office, which is said to have suppressed allegations of child abuse in the 70s. Footage has appeared on television of Tim Fortescue (a senior whip in Edward Heath’s government

5 Paedophile Information Exchange (see previous paper for details). 6 Mail Online; ‘Paedophile at the Home Office’, Sam Marsden, 8 July 2014. 7 from 1970-73) boasting that he could (and possibly had) cover up a scandal involving an MP and small boys.

Several MPs criticised May that the enquiry will not be led by a judge with the power to summon witnesses and seize papers. Mark Reckless MP said that he doubted that suspected paedophiles facing criminal prosecutions would co-operate without a judge in control.

Baroness Butler-Sloss Initially May appointed Baroness Butler-Sloss to chair the enquiry, but was embarrassed when she was forced to stand down after Exaro 7 disclosed that her late brother, Lord Havers, had (as attorney general) limited an investigation into the sexual abuse of children at Kincora boy’s home. I am sure that behind closed doors it was also alleged that Havers had attended paedophile parties in Dolphin Square and that Butler-Sloss would end up investigating her own brother.

The decision to appoint Butler-Sloss came from Downing Street in an attempt to sponsor a whitewash. May has now agreed that the new chairman would be discussed with the seven MPs who wrote to her.

Smaller enquiry into the Home Office – Peter Wanless At the same time, Peter Wanless (chief executive of the NSPCC) will also carry out a smaller enquiry into whether there was a cover-up of abuses within the Home Office. He will examine an internal review carried out last year (2013) into the department’s files relating to organised sex abuse from 1979 to 1999. He will also study another Home Office investigation, released on 7 July 2014, which concluded that the Home Office gave six- figure grants to two organisations linked to PIE.

Cameron’s Cabinet re-shuffle – 15 July 2014 What was very interesting about this is that a) Cameron has not been prone to re-shuffles; b) in this one he got rid of three of his top, senior, male heavyweights; namely Michael Gove, Kenneth Clarke and William Hague. This was clearly an undesired sacking. Clarke was said to want to concentrate on gardening; Hague to stay at home writing books; I doubt anyone believes either of those things. Gove was made chief whip, unusually unable to attend cabinet.

But what is even more interesting is that these three men have recently figured very prominently in websites, being alleged to have been involved in paedophile scandals. Clarke has been vigorously outed by activist Bill Maloney and victim Ben Fellows; Clarke has not sued either of them. Hague has been implicated in the Dolphin Square scandals. Gove has had less attention but his name is still allegedly linked to questionable activities.

As it seems clear that the Westminster paedophile ring is about to be brought into the light of day, with former cabinet ministers being exposed almost daily, Cameron has jumped to remove possible tainted ministers from his cabinet before a scheduled General Election in a year.

7 An investigative journal website. 8 Ongoing news

Police ignore known paedophiles – November 2013 The then newly formed National Crime Agency admitted that no arrests had been made despite Toronto detectives handing over a list of paedophiles. 8

In 2012 Project Spade identified paedophiles worldwide and Canadian police sent leads to over 50 countries. Hundreds of names were supplied to British police; 18 months later nothing had been done. Globally, 341 suspects have been arrested and 400 child sex slaves have been freed.

The British suspects were identified from purchasing slick online abuse videos of children as young as five.

Britain’s Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre (part of the NCA) was handed names, addresses, IP addresses and credit card details. Normal process would identify suspects with access to children and then alert local police. Scotland Yard confirmed that that it had not been told this information.

Two weeks after this story was published in the news media, police started to take action. 9 They started to investigate 2,345 suspected child abusers. In the delay children have been unnecessarily abused. Fifty of the names are dangerous paedophiles in a global network.

Tom Watson MP said that the inaction of the NCA was completely unacceptable adding that Britain now needs a FBI-style elite crime squad to combat child abuse. He said to the Sunday People, We’ve got an international policing operation that has netted hundreds of alleged paedophiles and the UK has failed to act on intelligence. This is completely unacceptable. It shows why we need a dedicated national team whose sole aim is to investigate allegations about child abuse. I think we need a proper team of officers who have investigative capabilities as well as powers of arrest. There are police officers who have been calling for it for years. 10

The British list was said to include foster carers, priests and teachers.

Rolf Harris – 30 June 2014 On this day Harris was convicted of 12 charges of indecent assault on four younf victims. He was given a sentence of five years and nine months in prison.

Huge publicity was given to this, a man basically guilty of groping; yet powerful establishment figures have been guilty of rape, torture and murder of children without any mainstream publicity.

8 Daily Mirror; ‘Hundreds of British paedophiles ignored by police despite tip-off list from Canadian cops’, Tom Pettifor, 15 November, 2013. 9 Daily Mirror; ‘Police finally investigating 2,345 suspected child abusers on Canadian detectives’ list’, Tom Pettifor, 28 November 2013. 10 Daily Mirror; ‘Britain needs FBI-style elite crime squad’, Keir Mudie, 17 November 2013. 9

Over 20 ‘top figures’ at Westminster involved in child abuse – 8 July 2014 A former child protection manager, Peter McKelvie, told BBC Newsnight that over 20 famous politicians have abused children for decades as aprt of a powerful elite paedophile network. 11

Police are said to be investigating over ten current and former politicians over alleged child abuse but McKelvie said on air that the figure is actually much higher and that a much larger figure than that have known about the situation and done nothing.

McKelvie’s allegations led to the 2012 police enquiry. He affirmed that he had spoken to many victims who had been subjected to the worst forms of abuse when they were children, including rape. His comments came just hours after Theresa May announced a new wide-ranging enquiry into historical sex abuse claims.

One in fifty Catholic clergy are paedophiles – 13 July 2014 This was a statement by Pope Francis who condemned child abuse as a ‘leprosy’ in an interview with Italy’s ‘La Repubblica’ newspaper. 12 He also promised solutions to priestly celibacy and suggested that the church may lift the ban on married priests.

The pope affirmed that the 2% includes priests, bishops and cardinals. He also likened paedophilia to a ‘satanic mass’ and planned to meet with victims.

The mainstream media played down his statements on paedophilia and played up the news about a change to the marriage ban. What nobody mentioned is the fact that until very recently the age of consent in Vatican City was only 12. Why is that?

Police paedophiles exposed in West Yorkshire Police - 17 July 2014 I have explained in my previous paper that there are large rings of paedophiles working within various police forces and this is why so few arrests of VIPs result from investigations. However, slowly, one by one police criminals are being exposed.

A recent example is DC Michael Vause from West Yorkshire Police convicted of child abuse, along with a number of his colleagues. 13

The ‘unProfessional Standards Dept’ group, working with the Yorkshire Post propagated this news story. Vause had escaped justice, largely due to the Pontefract & Castleford Express refusing to cover the story of the second Pontefract police paedophile in a a few years. UPSD are putting together a dossier on a paedophile ring operating in Knottingley and Pontefract during Vause’s time there. They have names of two other police paedophiles in Pontefract CID.

Vause was an alleged very bent CID detective but he ended up in the Professional Standards Dept investigating other paedophiles. One officer was accused of abusing his own child by his wife, yet Vause cleared the man. An outside investigation is now scoping this and other matters. Vause was also involved in investigations where computers and images of paedophiles were obtained.

11 The Week; ‘Westminster paedophile ring claims: ’20 top figures involved’, 8 July 2014. 12 LBC, ‘Pope: One in 50 clergy are paedophiles’, 13 July 2014. LBC is ‘Leading Britain’s Conversation’ a digital radio show and website. 13 UnProfessional Standards Dept; ‘Police paedophiles’, 17 July 2014. The uPSD is an association that investigates and reports on police corruption and also aids people affected by this. 10

The list of alleged police paedophiles in West Yorkshire police is growing rapidly. Several West Yorkshire police officers were good friends with Jimmy Savile. A simplified list of very complex networks and offences follows: • Officer arrested after child porn was found on his computer. Criminal case prepared for CPS but no charges were preferred. The inspector retired on health grounds. • Christopher Snow was jailed for three years nine months in 2011 for a string of offences against children. • Michael Conlon was jailed for 2½ years for making and possessing indecent child images, grooming and attempting sexual activity with a child. • Sergeant Matt Appleyard was a close friend of Savile and founder of the Friday Morning Club run by a notorious paedophile and rapist. He took other officers to Savile’s apartment on Fridays. He is still a serving officer. • Peter Newton sexually abused a young girl and was jailed for four years at Leeds Crown Court in February 2004. He admitted six offences of indecent assault on the eleven- year old girl. • Simon Dagger, a probationary officer from Pontefract, was snared in Operation Ore after downloading child porn. He appeared in court in 2003 but was not jailed. Along with DC Mick Vause, also from Pontefract, Dagger received a three-year community rehabilitation order with a condition of attending a sex-offender treatment programme. • Gary Simpson was convicted in March 2010 on 20 charges of making and possessing indecent images. • Christopher Whiteoak was sentenced in September 2012 to two years in prison for making a 15-year old girl pregnant. • Liam Austerfield was suspended in April 2013 pending criminal enquires then subsequently re-arrested for possession of indecent material. He was then jailed for 15 months for grooming a 14-year old girl on-line. • Kevin Ellis was arrested in April 2013 after child porn images were found on his computer. He committed suicide after he was released on bail.

This takes the West Yorkshire convicted or charged paedophile count to ten; however, a number of other officers have been accused and journalists are pursuing leads on yet others. These investigations have been obstructed at every turn by West Yorkshire Police and the Police Authority.

Note: several of these worked at the same police station in Killingbeck.

Note that many of these police paedophiles have not been put on the sex offender’s register. Some, such as Newton, were put on but not for life. Newton’s name will be removed in 2015.

Operation Douglas West Yorkshire Police force is out of control and the paedophile scandals are just a part of wider corruption that has gone as far as the Supreme Court. Remember that Savile conducted his crimes for years under this jurisdiction.

West Yorkshire Police was the subject of a Supreme Court judgment regarding sustained, institutional corruption. The case involved perjury, supplying drugs and prostitutes to a criminal, allowing the criminal to commit rape and buggery, allowing him to have sex with a policewoman and more. No one has yet faced disciplinary charges let alone criminal charges. 11

The operation cost £45,000 per month and collated 375,000 documents over six years. The leader of the enquiry, Det. Chief Supt. Peter Mackay said the information ‘ defied belief’ and stated that he was deeply shocked. The operation was continually obstructed, especially by the now disgraced Sir Norman Bettison. Senior officers in West Yorkshire Police were actively trying to cover the whole thing up and restrict the repercussions in their force, denying any wrongdoing.

The law lords thought otherwise and their judgment summarised the extent of police illegality. They said that senior officers were involved in a conspiracy to pervert the cause of justice and colluded in perjury and forgery. The summary says, ‘ to describe police misconduct on this scale merely as shocking and disgraceful is to underestimate the gravity of its impact upon the integrity of the prosecution process. It is hard to imagine a worse case of sustained prosecutorial dishonesty designed to secure and hold a conviction at all costs ’. 14

Theresa May, the IPCC and HMIC allowed the investigation that followed this judgement to be undertaken by West Yorkshire Police (Operation Waldhorn). A better example of a whitewash is hard to imagine.

50,000 paedophiles in the UK – 18 July 2014 Apparently there are 50,000 paedophiles identified by the growing demand for child porn on the internet. 15 This news came after police arrested 660 people on suspicion of child abuse, people from all walks of life including doctors, teachers, care workers and former police officers. Apparently, the police have already identified 10,000 paedophile offenders.

Labour Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper called for extra officers to work on child abuse cases after the National Crime Agency arrested 660 for collecting abuse images (Operation Notarise). She stated that there had been a 65% rise in the viewing of child porn and a 20% growth in sex crimes, but a 9% drop in prosecutions. Cooper demanded that ministers draw up an action plan to deal with the growing crime wave because the system was too weak to deal with it.

Operation Hydrant – 5 Aug 2014 A national police group was set up to explore possible links between child sex abuse investigations involving celebrities, elected officials and institutions, such as schools and care homes. Police forces across the UK have been asked for details of their enquiries. The new body was established by the Association of Chief Police Officers. It will not lead any new enquiries but will collate and gather information and will be led by Chief Constable Simon Bailey.

Peter Righton Righton (died 2007) was a convicted paedophile. He was a founding member of PIE and served as an academic in colleges and care homes where he conducted abuse as part of a large network.

It now emerges that he advised the Home Office on changes to the residential child care system in 1970, giving ‘ considerable assistance’ .16 This was despite leaving his earlier teaching job over complaints of child abuse. The report to which Righton contributed led to major reforms of children’s homes, bringing them under local authority control. ‘Community homes’ replaced approved schools; i.e. residential centres for delinquent kids.

14 Supreme Court judgment, R v Maxwell, 20 July 2011, par 83. 15 Daily Star; ‘Police need to do more to tackle the 50,000 paedophiles active in the UK, Jerry Lawton, 18 July 2014. 16 BBC News; ‘Paedophile advised Home Office’, Tom Bateman, 18 August 2014. 12

Righton’s research for the report involved him travelling to care homes all over the country; including places where it later emerged that children were systematically abused. Here he was able to network, but was in a position where he could abuse trust, having the authority of the Home Office. Righton visited Bryn Estyn approved school in Wrexham which was the scene of a large institutional paedophile ring. 17 A witness stated that he took boys out and used inappropriate sexual language with them.

The Waterhouse Report, into North Wales child abuse, described how local councils were ‘in a state of turmoil ’ in the early 1970s due to the new responsibilities imposed on them by the Home Office.

It was evidence that formed part of the Righton case that led Tom Watson to demand the initial enquiry into institutional paedophilia in Westminster. This evidence was found in documents seized from Righton’s home in 1992 after his arrest. He was fined £900 for possessing images of child abuse.

The Rotherham Scandal – August 2014 This gained a great deal of mainstream media publicity because it centred upon Pakistani paedophiles and took the attention way from establishment child sex abusers. However, the real story is that everyone knew it was happening but no one in power did anything about it. Teachers even stood guard at some schools to prevent children being picked up by minicab drivers and abused.

The verdict of an independent enquiry, led by Alexis Jay, into the Rotherham abuse scandal affirmed that over 16 years at least 1,400 young girls were sexually exploited by gangs of men, mainly Pakistani minicab drivers, and trafficked across the north of England. It was abuse on an industrial scale. One young girl told the enquiry that ‘ gang rape was a usual part of growing up around here ’.

The level of violence was horrific. Girls were drugged and beaten, oral and anal sex was used as a means of control and punishment, petrol dousing was a form of intimidation and this was all happening in plain sight. For years various officials had clear knowledge of what was going on but refused to take action for fear of upsetting the local multicultural racial balance.

Apart from the alarm being raised by teachers, social workers, care home workers, taxi firms and parents, there were home office reports that explained the abuse, such as one produced in 2002. The council and the police ignored these reports. More than that South Yorkshire police devoted energy to seeking to disprove the allegations.

The 200 political suspects that the police delayed charging – September 2014 Scotland Yard has delayed 200 charges of child sex abuse because the Met is worried about a media frenzy over a paedophile network at Westminster according to an MP. 18

So far, four people face 52 charges resulting from Operation Fairbank, which were initially dropped by the CPS but reinstated after an expose by Exaro. These are associated with the scandal at Elm Guest House. However, an insider has told Exaro that the Met paedophile unit has delayed putting through to the CPS evidence that may lead to 180 charges relating to 80 victims.

17 See previous paper. 140 former residents made allegations of abuse between 1974 and 1984. The housemaster, Peter Howarth, was jailed for ten years and died in prison. Howarth had taught at the same special school in Kent where Righton faced complaints of child abuse. 18 Exaro; Scotland Yard delays 200 charges …’, David Hencke and Mark Conrad, 1 September 21014. 13

One insider also stated that the Met’s unit has nowhere near enough staff to deal with the amount of evidence forthcoming.

Samantha Morton – 15 September 2014 Acclaimed award-winning actress Morton publicly admitted (to the Guardian) that she was sexually abused by two residential care workers while in a children’s home in Nottingham as a teenager. She reported the abuse to authorities in the 1990s but no investigation was made. Nottinghamshire Police has lost all trace of Morton’s complaint.

She was abused at the Red Tiles home in Bulwell, Nottingham, which is one of 13 children’s homes being investigated by Nottinghamshire Country Council. Morton was 13 when she reported the abuse but said that there was no support, no counselling and the complaint was shelved.

She also stated that a lot of her friends were abused by people in very top jobs in Social Services. ‘ Nottingham in the 80s was rife with that ’, she said. She also called for wide-ranging investigation saying that it isn’t just Rotherham.

Chief constables face IPCC probe – Sept 2014 The Chief Constable of Wiltshire Police (Patrick Geenty) is being investigated over the way he handled complaints regarding allegations of sexual abuse. Geenty, and other officers, are being investigated by the Independent Police Complaints Commission. The charge is that they withheld information from complainants about the extent of the force’s failing in dealing with the sexual abuse claims relating to an enquiry in 2008-9.

The IPCC is now independently investigating three chief constables (+ Peter Fahy in Manchester; Nick Gargan in Avon/Somerset) and managing two other investigations into two other chief constables (Suzette Davenport, Gloucester; Adrian Lee, Northamptonshire).

Rochdale abuse case now has 40 victims – September 2014 The male victims allege that they were abused at Knowl View school between 1960 and 1987. More than 40 have said that they were victims of Cyril Smith or other men.

Greater Manchester Police said that 24 men have alleged that they were sexually and physically abused at Knowl View school in Rochdale between 1960 and 1987. Twenty of thee were abused by Smith who died in 2010. At least one victim claims that he was raped.

A separate investigation is focused on Smith based on ten victim accounts.

Sex abuse at schools – 1 October 2014 Graham Wilmer (a member of the panel for the overarching enquiry into paedophilia) criticised Michael Gove for refusing to order an investigation into allegations against schools run by a Catholic order when he was Education Secretary.

In his book, ‘The Devil’s Advocate’, Wilmer complains that he had written to Gove several times to investigate the Salesian order; he also involved his MP. Wilmer is director of the Lantern project, a charity to support victims of child sex abuse. The official response from Gove’s office was that the crimes were ‘ too long ago ’ and that it was a police matter only.

After this, about a year previously, the Met’s paedophile unit launched Operation Torva, amid strict secrecy, to investigate the Salesian schools. The Met discovered that one Catholic priest and teacher (Father Terence O’ Brien) was a prolific paedophile. Many ex- 14 pupils supplied police with allegations. Most of the suspects are dead but Wilmer claims that at least two are alive. Profits from Wilmer’s book go to the Lantern Project.

Operation Fernbridge loses chief; pressure mounts on the Met. – 7 October 2014 19 DCI Paul Settle was cast out as the officer in charge of the police investigation into paedophile politicians. After months of pressure about the direction of enquiries, Settle stepped aside and is now officially on sick leave; a detective sergeant has taken over.

The Met. has now tripled the number of officers on the investigation from seven to 22 as it faces scrutiny from the overarching enquiry announced in July.

The investigation covers two full criminal investigations: Operation Fernbridge (began two years previously) and Operation Cayacos (which is looking into claims of a paedophile ring linked to politicians after Tom Watson raised the issue in Parliament). So far only two people have been charged. In addition the Met is running Operation Fairbank (a scoping enquiry regarding allegations against VIPs to see if they should be full investigations alongside the other two). These are separate to Yewtree, which is investigating Savile and other celebrities.

Exaro has exposed how Fernbridge had failed to follow guidelines while investigating a rape claim involving Leon Brittan. In an attack by Tom Watson MP, the director of public prosecutions was asked to intervene. The Met complained about Exaro’s intervention. The CPS then wrongly dropped some key charges and was forced to reinstate them as a result of Exaro. These sorts of failures led to the demands for a full enquiry by the Home Secretary.

A source close to Operation Abelard 20 said that Settle had told him that he did not believe that a jury would ever convict any policeman.

For a detailed list and analysis of the various enquiries see: Exaro; ‘ Child sex abuse, Fernbridge and Fairbank; Exaro story thread ’.

Stinson Hunter appears on Jeremy Vine’s Radio programme - 15 October 2014 Stinson, known as ‘the paedophile hunter’, appeared on Vine’s current affairs discussion programme to defend his activities in sting operations to trap paedophiles. He uses social media to pretend to be young children to entice paedophiles and then uses the various pieces of data to enable prosecutions. He has been successful in convictions in about a dozen cases. With no finance (he is in debt and homeless) he has been more successful than the police with all their resources.

At first the police were amicable, having various conversations with him and using his information. However, after Stinson exposed a chief constable as a paedophile the police are now antagonistic.

Stinson believes that from his experience there are paedophiles on every street.

Stinson has also appeared on a Channel 4 documentary, ‘The Paedophile Hunter’ – currently available on 4OD.

19 Exaro; ‘Operation Fernbridge loses chief as pressure mounts on Met’, Mark Watts, Tim Wood, Mark Conrad and David Hencke, 7 October. 20 On the axe-murder in 1987 of Daniel Morgan. 15 Whistleblowers

Andrea Davison - 25 August 2013 Davison is a former British intelligence agent who has been fighting to expose paedophiles in power. In the 1980s and 90s she was working with the Intelligence Services mainly on investigations concerning the illegal supply of arms and technology to Iraq, Iran and the Former Yugoslavia. During the Gulf War she was involved in detecting sabotage and other matters. She has made a legal statement, which keeps disappearing from websites after being published. 21 This long affidavit is full of enormously important information covering child abuse, crime networks and giving evidence of a massive police cover-up, corruption and persecution. On its own it is a damning indictment demonstrating the control that the establishment has in hiding its dirty secrets.

She exposes a criminal network linking illegal arms sales, drugs trafficking, support for terrorist groups and child pornography including snuff videos. She alleges that sections of the Conservative Government, the police and government agencies were involved in this criminal network. She gave evidence on these matters in secret to Lord Justice Scott’s enquiry into ‘Arms to Iraq’.

She became involved in investigating child abuse in 1989 whilst carrying out a search on a suspect’s premises. She found child pornography, some of which was ritualistic. The suspect was engaged in research at Bangor University and linked to a private company. The suspect was distributing child porn on a large scale, including snuff movies. Some of the children abused and killed were from local North Wales children’s homes (I exposed the North Wales care homes paedophiles in the previous paper). She says she was warned that the North Wales Police force was deeply involved and not to trust anybody. Without the systematic cover-up by the police and government agencies, the massive child abuse could not have continued.

She alleges that the Intelligence and Security services have files, including photographs and videos, of politicians and VIPs involved in paedophile activities and paedophile rings. Similar files exist on judges, civil servants and police officers. Some files were confiscated from the police by the security services. The paedophile network included members of the police, the judiciary as well as businessmen, solicitors, politicians, security and intelligence insiders and is linked to organised crime, drug trafficking, arms dealing and terrorism.

Davison began to expose child abuse and police corruption from 1990 to 1996, working with some council officials such as Dennis Parry, then Labour Leader of Clywd Council. Parry stated that they were fighting a cover-up machine involving police corruption. She leaked information to alternative media, such as Scallywag Magazine (which exposed Jimmy Savile decades ago to no avail), the Independent, Wales on Sunday, and freelance journalists. This involved verified details and victim affidavits.

The North Wales Police force [NWP] tried to silence her and she suffered persecution. She was arrested several times and interrogated; she was even threatened with being charged with murder and evidence planted in her car. The police seized her car and property. Her next door neighbour disappeared and was later found dead. When she was due to brief a Parliament select committee she was arrested for a fraudulent tax disc which had been planted.

21 Before Its News; ‘Ex British spy Andrea Davison’s explosive statement exposing paedophiles in the police, judiciary and UK government’, 25 August 2013. Statement is found at: http://macurstatement.blogspot.com 16

She then went to the Attorney General’s office explaining her persecution by the police and the fact that the government would stop at nothing to cover-up their illegal sales of arms and the government’s involvement in paedophilia. All charges were then dropped. Due to her prominence in the ‘Arms to Iraq’ affair, she was under protective surveillance and the Tory government decided that they could not simply silence her.

Davison contacted Geoffrey Dickens and supplied him with information. She also contacted Tony Blair (then in opposition). Blair wrote to Home Secretary Kenneth Clarke about the child abuse. Clarke dismissed him and anyone who raised concerns about the NWP and child abuse. [See Kenneth Clarke in previous paper.]

Davison campaigned for an overarching public enquiry in care home child abuse involving staff, managers and VIPs as well as the cover-ups.

Davison trained as a mental health advocate in 1995 and victims of child abuse became her clients. She participated in the Waterhouse Enquiry (see last paper). The report protected VIP suspects and was a complete whitewash. Welsh MP Martyn Jones complained in Parliament that the report did not name politicians, police officers and judges for abuse.

Davison carefully collated all her files, diaries, testimonies and other evidence regarding this enquiry and continued to research the child porn network. This included child brothels, transportation routes, hotels and bars, fixers, providers of false documents, and distribution outlets. Most of this evidence was taken by 19 North Wales and Derby police officers headed by DC Winnard and DS Hunt on 13 January 2010 who emptied her three flats of documents and valuables. The warrant was signed by Derby Judge Burgess. No list was provided of the thousands of documents nor of the thousands of pounds worth of jewellery and heirlooms. Her tenant has also not received property taken, apart from three items. Legal requests for return of the items has been blocked at a high level. This is not only taking property from a citizen, but from a prominent intelligence agent with top secret clearance.

On 17 March 2010 Lord Hoyle of Warrington wrote to the Chief Constable of Derby, Mike Creedon, and later to Chief Constable of NWP, Mark Polin, to return the documents and property. Derby police obtained a restraint order from Judge Burgess on 7 April 2010 allowing the police to hold the documents. To prevent a challenge, the court made it a contempt of court for her to pay for legal advice or assistance. She applied for legal aid but was refused.

Derby police encouraged adverse publicity against her so she made a complaint on 16 September to Derby Professional Standards. Her property was not been returned.

Judge Nicolas Parry (originally a solicitor who represented accuse paedophiles at the Waterhouse Enquiry) presided over her case, jailing her (in her absence) for three years. The list of her persecutions continues but is too complex to detail. Eventually her bank account was frozen leaving her penniless, unable to buy food, pay her rent or get medication. She is currently, aged 62, a refugee in a South American country whose government has provided Human Rights lawyers to represent her. These lawyers have stated that the UK government is guilty of International Human Rights abuses against her.

This is what happens to those who challenge the establishment and try to expose VIP paedophilia because the criminals have a great deal of power and are all connected to high authority. This is why nothing is done to get justice for victims despite enquiry after enquiry. 17

Davison says, ‘ I am one of many who have been ruthlessly persecuted by those in [power] who fear that the truth about historic and current child abuse will surface ’.

If the mainstream media or a book publisher were to publish her affidavit, this alone would rock the establishment to the very core and open up the public’s eyes to the extent of criminal cover up by government, the police and the judiciary.

Her affidavit was written for the Macur Review, led by Mrs Justice Macur, appointed by the PM to review the 2000 Waterhouse Review which looked into the North Wales child abuse scandal.

Nigel Goldie and Angell Road Children’s Home – July 2014 Goldie was the former assistant director of social services at Lambeth Council.

Goldie told the BBC 22 that allegations against public figures were squashed by decisions at a high level to protect politician’s reputations. This followed allegations of abuse at a children’s home.

Goldie’s testimony was corroborated by a former Labour council leader in Lambeth, Anna Tapsell. She added that some people were caught up in crimes not associated with abuse (such as fraud) and they were afraid of an investigation that would unearth their misdemeanours as well. Thus they never spoke out when they knew of allegations.

This refers to the Angell Road children’s home run by Michael John Carroll in the 1980s. Carroll was allowed to manage this home despite having been convicted of indecently assaulting a boy in the 1960s. The council knew of this crime but let him continue running a children’s home. Why?

Carroll was later sentenced to 10 years for further abuse of children in 1999.

The police officer who began investigating allegations in Lambeth (Clive Driscoll) was taken off the case after he named political figures as potential suspects. He told the BBC that he was removed because he made too many people uncomfortable. Goldie was present when Driscoll named the politicians. Goldie himself was then warned by the police not to tell anyone about these politicians.

Anthony Gilberthorpe – 13 July 2014 Gilberthorpe was a former Tory activist and MP hopeful. He claims that he told Margaret Thatcher 25 years ago about witnessing paedophile activities cabinet ministers and gave her the names of those involved. 23

Gilberthorpe witnessed top Tory MPs having sex with boys in sex parties and sought to give evidence to the new abuse enquiry.

Gilberthorpe was tasked by senior Tories to find underage rent boys for sex parties at hotels during party political conferences at Blackpool and Brighton. He was then a full- time political activist and provided ‘the prettiest boys’ for cabinet ministers. Boys as young as 15 were plied with alcohol and cocaine before being raped.

22 BBC News website; July 2014. 23 Daily Mirror; ‘Tory child abuse whistleblower: ‘I supplied underage rent boys for Margaret Thatcher’s cabinet ministers’, Matthew Drake, 13 July 2014. 18

Gilberthorpe avers that one person involved is a current serving minister. Other ministers present at the parties included Keith Joseph, Rhodes Boyson, Dr. Alistair Smith and Michael Havers.

He says that he was a young aspiring politician who was in awe of these senior men but states that they manipulated him and groomed him to do their bidding. He was 17 when he attended his first conference in Brighton in 1978 and thrilled that these men took an interest in him During 1978 to 1985 he was a full-time activist and running for office in district and county council elections.

In 1983 he was asked by Alistair Smith (the Tory Party Chairman in Scotland), and given money, to arrange for boys for sex with two (unnamed) cabinet ministers. At that time gay sex with anyone under 21 was illegal. Gilberthorpe says that this was not unusual and that it was well known that these ministers paid for young men for sex. Boys were given security clearance and badges and allowed to enter conference hotels such as the Imperial. Some of the badges had an Oscar (i.e. Oscar Wilde) sign in the corner, which was code to allow entrance to secret parties. Once inside boys as young as 15 were given cocaine and drinks. Gilberthorpe described two senior Tories having sex with two boys. He added that a current senior Tory MP was standing there watching.

He also claims that in 1981 he saw Sir Michael Havers (then Attorney General) at a swimming pool party at a Tory conference in Blackpool where underage boys were encouraged to perform sex acts on several politicians (not named). Present were members of the notorious Tory ‘Monday Club’. Drinks were available on tables along with cocaine.

Gilberthorpe also described a sex party at the Brighton Grand Hotel in 1984 He claims there was a sex party on the night before the bomb attack in a row of rooms in a ‘corridor party’. Various senior MPs were seen involved in sex acts with boys under the age of consent. One currently serving MP was involved.

Clive Driscoll – 16 July 2014; new anti-corruption police investigation into old case Driscoll was a child protection detective in Lambeth. In 1998 he was subject to disciplinary proceedings and moved from his post. This followed his naming of a minister in Tony Blair’s government as a child abuse suspect. He was sacked and removed from a child sex probe. 24

A witness had told Driscoll that the Blair minister made lone evening visits to the Angell Road children’s home in Brixton during the early 1980s, run by convicted paedophile Michael John Carroll. This was confirmed by the testimony of a former Lambeth social services boss to Driscoll. This witness also stated that the minister visited the South Vale assessment centre in West Norwood and took children out.

Driscoll was recently quizzed for more than three hours by detectives from the Met’s Dept. Of Professional Standards regarding the cover up of child abuse at various children’s homes in Lambeth.

The decision to sack Driscoll was taken by Sir Denis O’Connor, who later became the Chief Inspector of Constabulary. He claims to have no recollection of these events or of politicians being named as suspects.

24 Daily Mirror; ‘Corruption probe into sacking of cop after he named minister as child abuse suspect’, Tom Pettifor, 16 July 2014. 19

Dr Nigel Goldie, in charge of child protection in Lambeth in 1998 said that the sacking of Driscoll suggests a cover-up.

Sir Denis, when he was assistant commissioner, set up a new children’s home probe (Operation Middleton) let by Det. Supt. Richard Gargini, who reported to Sir Hugh Orde. It traced 200 victims but secured only thee convictions. A total of 19 suspects were never identified fuelling fears that a paedophile ring had operated involving men outside the care system.

Brian Gemmell & Colin Wallace – Army intelligence, August 2014 Gemmel was a former army intelligence officer in Northern Ireland. He has admitted that he was ordered to stop investigating allegations into child sexual abuse at the Kincora boy’s home (east Belfast) in the 1970s by a senior MI5 officer. This officer was rude, offensive and hostile and even demanded that Gemmell drop an agent he was running who was connected to Kincora.

Gemmell had presented a report to this officer in 1975; he had been gathering information about loyalists. In 1981 three senior care staff at the home were jailed for abusing 11 boys. However, it has long been claimed that very high profile people were protected from investigations. Gemmell has called for fresh investigations into these people.

He had previously spoken anonymously about his investigations but has now decided to go public in order to kick start a new enquiry.

Earlier another former army officer (Colin Wallace) said that any new investigation of Kincora must have access to information from intelligence agencies. Wallace also states that after he received information that boys were being abused in 1973 his superiors refused to pass on the information.

For many years the alternative media have claimed that intelligence agencies were running a blackmail paedophile operation at Kincora to trap politicians and elite figures. This was constantly ridiculed by the mainstream media. Now two army officers have backed up the alternative media story at some risk to themselves. The mainstream media did little with this huge story.

Victim testimonies

A Northern Ireland boy – 19 July 2014 A former rent boy revealed that he was blackmailed into being abused by top Tories in 1975. 25 Now 59 and a respectable father of four, he explained that two pimps warned him that his family in Northern Ireland would have an accident if he refused to have sex with VIP politicians. This was in response to Gilberthorpe’s revelations in the Sunday Mirror.

After one of his friends was shot dead in Northern Ireland, he escaped to London where he initially lived in Roman Catholic hostel. He had originally been destitute in London and was approached by a man called Kevin who offered him food. He was taken to a pub to meet a smart businessman who took him to a restaurant. He was then invited back to the man’s house for drinks. Being inebriated, the boy was raped twice by the man. Later Kevin explained that photos were taken of him, which would be given to his family if he did not comply. Kevin then pimped the boy.

25 Daily Mirror; ‘Former rent boy: ‘I was abused by top Tories then blackmailed to keep quiet’, Nick Owens, 19 July 2014. 20

He said that as a young man he was plied with drink by Charles Irving MP before he was abused and paid £30. He was also forced to perform oral sex on a married senior Lord in a car and given a fountain pen. He explains that he attended a sordid house party where two Tories celebrated their first year as MPs by having sex with boys as young as 12.

He also named Sir Rhodes Boyson and Michael Havers as being present at sex parties in the 1970s. He claims that the late Charles Irving, then MP for Cheltenham, approached him, who took him to a country house in Essex where they had sex for £30.

It was then, when he pleaded with Kevin and the businessman to stop, that the lives of his family were threatened if he failed to comply. After this he was taken to parties near Whitehall for sex parties with senior Tories. Here he saw even younger boys, as young as 15, being abused. It was at these parties that he identified Keith Joseph, Rhodes Boyson and Michael Havers.

Later on, falling to rock bottom, he collapsed in the home of one of his pimps. No ambulance was called but he was put in the spare room. The next day he was given £50 and told to go home because the pimp thought that he was dying. Flying back to Ireland, he was diagnosed with acute bronchitis but was also depressed and was unwell for a year. Eventually, he turned his life around, married in 1981 and is now an office manager. He is anxious for the truth to come out.

New light on historic cases

Oranges and sunshine – institutional abuse by governments This is the name of a recent film 26 that I urge you to watch starring Emily Watson as Margaret Humphreys. It tells the story of collusion between the UK and Australian governments, over many decades, to systematically (and illegally) deport children in care from Britain to act as slave workers in Australia. Between the 1950s and the early 1970s, 130,000 children were deported against their will. Siblings were split up and in most cases their natural mothers had no knowledge of events; in fact mothers were told that their children were safely adopted in England, while children were told that their mothers were dead.

Most of these cases involved unwanted pregnancies in single mothers at a time when this was a moral scandal and when mothers had no income to care for an unexpected child.

In many cases children as young as three were passed on to various institutions, including Christian Brothers (monks), where they were ill-fed, ill-clothed, used as slave workers 27 and sexually abused. The children were promised oranges and sunshine but instead received hard labour for life in institutions such as Keaney College in Bindoon, Western Australia.

Emily Watson stars as the Nottingham social worker, Margaret Humphreys, that stumbled on this information by accident and set up a trust in 1987 28 to tirelessly work to locate

26 ‘Oranges and Sunshine’, a 2010 film by Jim Loach (son of Ken Loach), screenplay by Rona Munro. It was based on Humphreys’ book, ‘Empty Cradles’. 27 For example, one victim explained that aged eight he was forced to carry stone blocks to build a monastery that were as big as his torso. He would work in the searing sun all day without water and wearing no shoes. He would frequently be whacked on the head with a stick and verbally abused. Children were later told that they owed the Christian brothers for looking after them and many kids were filled with guilt. 28 The Child Migrants Trust. 21 mothers and re-unite families to give the children closure. In many cases the children suffered psychological damage from being removed from their mother, in addition to the physical abuse.

The British government did not co-operate with Humphreys’ work and refused to admit what went on for 33 years. In February 2010 Prime Minister Gordon Brown apologised to the thousands of children sent overseas in the 1950s.

On 12 August 2014 it was announced that The Northern Ireland Historical Institutional Abuse Inquiry will focus on the migration scheme which involved the transport of children to Australia in September.

While the film focuses on the transport of children to Australia, children were deported to several countries, including Canada, New Zealand and former Rhodesia as well.

As late as 1970 the British government was directly involved in what is effectively the kidnap and trafficking of children to procure them for slave labour and abuse. This went on for over 20 years without public knowledge.

The developing evidence against Leon Brittan

The case against this man is old news to campaigners like Chris Fay, who can tell you what this evil man did, what he was nearly wearing, when he did it and where he did it. However, testimonies and evidence against this man have continually either gone missing or have been filed locally. Cases have been dropped. However, the evidence is now mounting up and an arrest must be imminent.

Imminent arrest – February 2013 In February 2013, Met commanders received a secret briefing by the head of the paedophile unit on its plans to arrest Brittan for multiple counts of sexual abuse of boys. No timescale was given but the detective chief inspector stated that an arrest was inevitable. This subsequently did not occur. Why? 29 Sources involved in the investigation told Exaro that they feared the case would be closed down.

The Amsterdam connection – October 2013 Detectives opened two new lines of enquiry in their investigation of Brittan. 30 He was one of six former Conservative MPs (five alive, one dead) who frequented gay brothels in Amsterdam thirty years ago to have sex with boys (illegal at that time).

Boys were supplied from children’s homes or residential schools in Britain to be abused at gay brothels in Amsterdam. These were the lucky ones; others were filmed in abuse, torture and murder videos. At that time Amsterdam was the capital of paedophile abuse and snuff films; some of which are in possession by the Met.

One boy witness was a former resident of Thorn Garth Residential School in Bradford. He was able to give detailed accounts of how he was trafficked to Amsterdam and identified Brittan who sexually abused him.

Exaro; ‘Met paedophile unit prepares to arrest ex-Tory cabinet minister’, David Hencke & Mark Watts, 16 February 2013. 30 Exaro; ‘Police pursue new leads in paedophile case against ex-minister’, David Hencke & Mark Conrad, 11 October 2013. 22

Rape of a student – May 2014 A woman came to the Met to give evidence of being raped at the age of 19 in 1967 by a man who later became a cabinet minister (we now know that this is Leon Brittan). This man tricked her into his flat and then raped her. 31 The police corroborated her claims about how she came to meet the man.

After giving her testimony, the police proceeded to smear the victim. They tried to tarnish the woman’s reputation or undermine her evidence by suggesting that she had mental health problems. 32 However, the police were already investigating the same man for sexual abuse of boys under Operation Fernbridge.

The police officer in charge had already decided to drop the case but the CPS then advised detectives to not proceed on the basis of information given (or withheld) by the police.

In desperation the woman then went to Exaro to explain the situation complaining that celebrities are quickly prosecuted but VIP cases are shelved. Tom Watson MP met with this woman to hear her evidence twice.

This police corruption formed part of the case made by MPs to the Home Secretary explaining that a new enquiry into sexual abuse was required. They demanded to know why Brittan was not even interviewed.

MPs receive audio file – 19 July 2014 It has been long known in the alternative media that a senior customs officer positively identified a former cabinet minister (Lord Brittan) being captured on film in a seized video of child sex abuse. At least two MPs now have an audio recording of the ex-customs officer’s testimony stating this fact. The recording has been investigated and proved to be authentic.

In March Exaro revealed how Customs officials were trying to silence one colleague (Maganial Solanki) who seized the video at Dover’s Eastern Car Terminal in 1982. The video was taken with other obscene material from Russell Tricker who was smuggling it from Amsterdam. The video was delivered by customs officials to MI5. Tricker was released and no action taken.

Shaken by this news, the police immediately started a smear campaign against Exaro, telling outright lies about the video. 33

The person that originally gave this information is now said to be in fear of recriminations. Solanki has been gagged by the Official Secrets Act. 34

Abuse of a boy; just one example The Met is also investigating the claim that, about thirty years ago, a boy in care in London was driven to an out-of-town property where he was sexually abused by Brittan.

Videos Campaigners, such as Chris Fay, have seen Brittan in videos at paedophile parties. They have also had multiple victim statements about such parties. The police had possession of the videos; 35 why was no action taken?

The developing scandal at Dolphin Square

It has been long exposed in the alternative media that a paedophile ring operated from the luxury apartment block of Dolphin Square in Pimlico; chiefly for MPs and associated civil servants. At one time 59 MPs lived in the square, conveniently situated, being a short walk from the Commons. MPs held parties in two flats in the block where VIPs sexually abused children.

New testimony - 12 July 2014 Exaro received testimony from two victims explaining how they were raped there during 1980. 36 One testified that he was raped over a bathtub while his head was submerged. He named two former Tory MPs, including a cabinet minister who raped him. Victims would be forced to drink whisky, then raped and beaten. A doctor was on hand to treat badly beaten boys. One victim said that he was 13 when he was abused, the other was 11.

They testified that they would be driven to parties, sometimes with other children, sometimes alone where they would join other children at the flat aged between 13 and 15. The children were not allowed to speak to each other. The witnesses described Dolphin Square flats from both the inside and outside.

One witness said that on one occasion an MP had commanded him to thrash another lad. When he refused he was sexually abused; he was also held down by a group of men and his feet were stabbed.

Victims had given evidence to Operation Fernbridge but did not trust the police to act on it, so they also told their stories to Exaro, then other newspapers also carried the story.

There are now scores of testimonies from survivors regarding paedophile parties in Dolphin Square.

Spy connection Historically, Dolphin Square has been home to a number of spies according to a previous general manager. 37 One long-term resident was Maxwell-Knight, a senior member of British Intelligence. He recruited William Joyce, another tenant, better known as Lord Haw Haw, who was executed for treason. It is claimed that agents from both sides of the Iron Curtain were residents at the square. Another tenant, John Vassal (an Admiralty clerk) was exposed as a Soviet spy in 1962 and arrested in his flat.

Investigative journalists have long affirmed that there is a close connection between the Secret Services and VIP paedophile rings. It is claimed that evidence of paedophile activities by VIPs is used to blackmail them to do the bidding of MI5 and MI6. One chief

It is certainly true that Heath, many years later, admitted to lying about the federal aims of the then EEC to the British people.

Harvey Proctor

New evidence - 19 July 2014 Disgraced former Tory MP for Basildon & Billericay, Harvey Proctor, 67, has been named in connection with paedophile sex parties by at least two witnesses. 38 He was exposed in 1986 for arranging spanking sessions with young men and was found to be leading a double life with an 18-year-old male prostitute at a time when the legal age of consent was 21.

Viscount Tonypandy

New evidence – 18 July 2014 Labour Peer Viscount Tonypandy is better known as the former Commons Speaker (1976- 1983), George Thomas. He was once a teacher, a Methodist lay preacher and a Cardiff NP with links to the Royal family; he died in 1997. He gave a reading at the wedding of Prince Charles and Diana in 1981.

He is alleged to have abused the nine-year old foster son of party activists and others in the late 1960s and 70s. 39 The victim survivor came forward recently, now aged 55, explaining how Thomas raped him in Cardiff in two separate houses. The victim reported the rape to South Wales police on two occasions in 2013; they did nothing. When confronted by the press, Asst. Chief Constable Nikki Holland said that they had the wrong address details and could not get in touch with the victim. This is either gross incompetence or neglect of duty. This failure has been referred to the IPCC.

Thomas’ friend, Labour MP Leo Abse, revealed in 2001 that the peer had been repeatedly blackmailed by people threatening to expose his sexual activities.

Michael John Carroll and a Labour MP

New evidence – 7 July 2014 Please see entries ‘Goldie’ and ‘Driscoll’ under ‘Whistleblowers’.

More evidence is coming to light about a cabinet minister in the Blair government who supported the paedophile Carroll. 40 Tom Watson has seen the evidence and pronounced it as ‘shocking’.

Carroll was the manager of a children’s home and was employed by Lambeth Council, despite his paedophile conviction. Apart from frequenting Carroll’s children’s home at

38 Daily Mirror; ‘Two Tory ministers were named in a damning 1980s paedophile dossier’, Vincent Moss, Matthew Drake, 19 July 2014. 39 Daily Mirror; ‘Police investigating child rape allegation against ex-Labour peer and Commons Speaker Viscount Tonypandy’, Nick Sommerlad, 18 July 2014. 40 Daily Mirror; ‘Tony Blair’s minister accused of helping convicted paedophile to foster young boys’, Tom Pettifor, 7 July 2014. 25 night, the minister rang Southwark social services regarding Carroll’s failed application to foster two brothers who had been taken into care from a troubled family. He explained that he was unhappy with this refusal. The MP’s call was part of a concerted effort to support Carroll by several influential people.

Southwark had turned down the request in 1986 because Carroll was a convicted paedophile. Carroll’s original application was made to Croydon Council where he lived. Croydon refused and Lambeth was made aware of Carroll’s conviction. Despite a hearing headed by the assistant director of Lambeth (?) social services David Pope in 1986, Carroll was allowed to remain in charge of the children’s home.

Southwark social services wrote to Lambeth explaining their concern that Carroll was left in charge of a children’s home. This led to intense pressure being applied to Southwark by officials from Lambeth and a person close to the aforementioned MP. When Southwark refused, the Labour MP made his telephone call.

Despite being blocked by Southwark, Lambeth’s executives continued to back Carroll’s application and took the case to a neighbouring borough; Wandsworth. A source in this council said that they were never told about the previous history. Furthermore, an officer from Lambeth social services ‘phoned a Wandsworth official asking him to falsify documents relating to Carroll’s criminal conviction. However, the young boys’ social worker threatened to resign unless Carroll’s access to them was stopped. Instead, four senior Lambeth officers recommended allowing Carroll and his wife June to become the boys’ foster parents.

Though Wandsworth rejected the application, in December 1990 Lambeth began paying the Carroll’s £67.85 per week to look after one of the boys at their home.

Carroll was finally dismissed in 1991 for squandering his home’s budget on alcohol and cigarettes while children were eating out-of-date food. The scandal around Carroll’s employment led to an independent enquiry in 1993. The report, headed by Richard Clough (general secretary of the Social Care Assoc.), accused Lambeth officers of gross unprofessionalism. However, Clough was never told about Southwark’s involvement. Tom Watson has called for a new enquiry into the cover-up by Lambeth. He has passed on his evidence to Scotland Yard.

Watson said A fully independent investigation must now be set up to find out what exactly happened and who is responsible. It also appears that a politician put pressure on social services professionals to allow a convicted paedophile to foster two vulnerable boys. Lambeth were effectively shopping around for a council that would allow Carroll unrestricted access to these boys. As this was going on he was able to informally foster them and tale them away on holiday. This dark chapter in the history of Lambeth must be fully investigated to get justice for the people whose lives have been destroyed by Carroll and all those who facilitated his offending. … The question is, who was protecting him and why?

Carroll was convicted in 1999 and jailed for ten years for a string of child sex attacks over three decades. 26 The Blair minister’s alleged involvement in child abuse in council buildings and possible connection to the murder of a whistleblower

New claims - 7 April 2014 Tony Blair was put under severe pressure in April 2014 to say exactly what he knew about child abuse at the Angell Road children’s home and why an investigation was axed after a minister in his government was named as a suspect. 41 MPs joined forces with a victim of abuse calling on the former Prime Minister to reveal what he knew about this cover-up.

Blair refused to say anything.

The Metropolitan Police also remain silent about their review into the cover-up claims, which was launched in 2013. A former victim of Carroll in the flat visited by the politician said, ‘ Mr Blair owes it to the children who have suffered to come out and say something about this … He must tell us what he knew and the longer he doesn’t the worse it will get for him ’.

Conservative MP Charlie Elphicke, a former Lambeth councillor, said: ‘ Scotland Yard should come clean about why they ended the investigation and Tony Blair should explain what actions, if any, he took. People need to know there hasn’t been a cover-up and Tony Blair cannot stay silent on this any longer. Lambeth has a sorry history when it comes to child protection and too often it has failed .’ Several other MPs demanded answers.

A former Lambeth council social services manager had affirmed that the minister made evening visits to the flat where Carroll abused boys; a detective covering the investigation in 1998 also named this minister as a suspect before being removed from the case (see ‘Carroll’ and ‘Driscoll’ earlier). Logbooks for the home, which contained the minister’s name, have gone missing.

Revisit of an associated murder – 21 May 2014 A council official who vowed to expose a paedophile ring linked to this minister was murdered. Cold case detectives 42 are now probing the murder of Bulic Forsythe. 43 Forsythe’s daughter believes that her father was killed because he uncovered a vice ring involving VIPs operating in the Angell Road children’s home. She said that Forsythe had told several people, including Lambeth council colleagues, that he was going to expose the crimes in Lambeth shortly before his murder in 1993. Firefighters found his blood-soaked body in his blazing flat on 6 February 1993. The social services manager’s skull had been fractured by a heavy weapon.

New witnesses have stated that Forsythe told them boys were being regularly assaulted by an organised gang using council buildings. He added that the South Vale youth assessment centre in West Norwood had closed but was being used to make paedophile films. He was trying to find who had the keys. Days later he was beaten to death in his flat. The case has been unsolved for 21 years.

41 Daily Mirror; ‘Pressure mounts of Tony Blair to answer questions over minister child sex abuse cover-up claims’, Tom Pettifor, 29 April 2014. 42 From the Serious Crime Review Group in Scotland Yard. 43 Daily Mirror; ‘Was Bulic Forsythe killed to protect paedophile ring linked to future minister in Tony Blair’s government’, Tom Pettifor, 21 May 2014. 27

Following a BBC Crimewatch programme in 1993, a witness revealed that three official- looking men were seen carrying files away from Forsythe’s flat in Clapham. Witness statements show the following: • Bulic was last seen alive at 8.45 on Wednesday 4 February 1993. • Three men removed files from his flat at 10am on Thursday 5 February 1993. • Two men were seen in a car behind Bulic’s flat at 2pm. • Bulic’s bedroom was torched at 1pm on Friday 6 February 1993.

An internal Lambeth enquiry into sexual abuse was under way at the time of Bulic’s death. The report shows detailed allegations of rape, sexual assault, and swapping of child abuse videos and violent porn within the council. It implicated senior Lambeth officers as well as policemen and local politicians. The report was published internally in December 1993 and was signed by the chair of the panel, Eithne Harris. The report also mentions Bulic Forsythe’s death as possibly suggesting a warning to whistleblowers.

Sir Cyril Smith

New evidence – 29 July 2014 Smith was a larger than life public figure and MP who died in 2010.

Exaro forced the CPS to disclose a 1970 report regarding Smith after a 16-month battle for disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Even so, it was heavily redacted and one page is missing. The report was written by a detective superintendent for the chief constable of Lancashire Constabulary. This material was in addition to a cache of official documents that Exaro revealed in September 2013 regarding child abuse at Knowl View special school in Rochdale. Smith was one of the child abusers there. 44

The report says, ‘ Over a considerable period of time, whilst sheltering beneath a veneer of respectability, he has used his unique position to indulge in a sordid series of indecent episodes with young boys towards whom he had a special responsibility ’. 45

The report was an investigation into allegations that Smith had abused eight teenage boys in Rochdale in the 12960s. Six of them had been residents of Cambridge House hostel, a privately-run care home that Smith helped to establish. The superintendent stated that the witnesses would stand up well to cross-examination and that Smith would be at the mercy of any competent counsel. Yet the DPP decided against a prosecution.

Fears regarding a public scandal led to a massive cover-up to this day. The report shows magistrates saying, ‘ I sincerely hope that this matter is not prosecuted before the court … The prosecution can do no good at all, and the backlash will have unfortunate repercussions for the police force and the town of Rochdale ’ (to the police). This magistrate involved in the cover- up admitted that he and Smith were buddies.

In 2012 the CPS admitted that it would have prosecuted Smith on the strength of the evidence that was presented in 1970 and on two later occasions in 1998 and 1999. The question is, who stopped the prosecution in 1970? As a result of inaction, Smith was allowed to abuse boys for decades.

Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher The Sunday People ran a story in July 2014 claiming that Thatcher knew all about the paedophile activities of her cabinet ministers. Other papers then covered this story. 46

On one occasion she had a meeting with a rising star and told him to clean up his sexual act. She then covered up accusations against one of her senior ministers made by a constituency agent. This man was accused of sexually abusing young boys at the home of one of his political allies in 1982.

A meeting involving Thatcher, Home Secretary Willie Whitelaw, a senior policeman and an MI5 officer discussed this minister, then he was summoned to Downing Street. Yet he was not sacked and prosecuted but warned and the allegations swept under the carpet. The minister ignored her.

Four years later (1986) it is alleged that he was spotted by police seeking young boys for sex at Victoria railway station toilets. The toilets were the target of an undercover sting by Scotland Yard detectives. They took no action. The source for the story said that this information was relayed personally to him at the time by Alec Marnoch, Operations Commander at the Yard’s No. 8 area covering Westminster.

Marnoch (who died in 1999) also told the source that police working in Piccadilly Circus received a report of the same minister importuning at one of London’s most notorious ren- boy haunts – the ‘Chicken Rack’. This was a set of metal railing close to Piccadilly underground station that was a vice hotspot in the 1980s. Here boys would be picked up for sex by politicians, TV stars and policemen.

The source for these stories was made by someone with inside knowledge of Scotland Yard in the early 1980s.

Sir Peter Morrison He was Margaret Thatcher’s Parliamentary Private Secretary who has been named in connection with investigations into the Bryn Estyn children’s homes scandal in Wrexham where many children were abused. The Mirror reports that he sexually abused boys as young as 15. 47

Jimmy Savile Thatcher repeatedly lobbied for Savile’s knighthood and he had dinner with her in Chequers on eleven subsequent New Year’s. It is alleged that he told Thatcher the dirt on cabinet ministers and young boys which enabled her to blackmail them to keep them in line.

See the section of Anthony Gilberthorpe. Gilberthorpe claims that he also sent Thatcher a 40-page dossier in 1989 accusing cabinet ministers of abusing underage boys during drug-fuelled parties. 48

46 Daily Mirror; ‘Margaret Thatcher personally covered up child abuse allegations against senior ministers’, Nick Buckley, Keir Mudie, 12 July 2014. 47 Daily Mirror; ‘Tory child abuse whistleblower: ‘Margaret Thatcher knew all about underage sex ring amongst ministers’, Vincent Moss, Matthew Drake, 13 July 2014. 48 Daily Mirror; ‘Tory child abuse whistleblower: ‘Margaret Thatcher knew all about underage sex ring amongst ministers’, Vincent Moss, Matthew Drake, 13 July 2014. 29

After befriending her, and after presenting her with a birthday cake on one occasion, Gilberthorpe explained the graphic allegations of sex and drugs and said that he wanted to expose it. He had been overlooked for the safe Tory seat of Gloucester in April 1986 and the resulting anger made up his mind to shop the treacherous ministers involved. He said that he saw into the treacherous nature of the party. He specifically named Keith Joseph, Rhodes Boyson and one MP still serving today. He also explained that he had seen Havers present at a party in Blackpool in 1983.

Gilberthorpe says that he received no response from Thatcher but was called to a meeting with William Hague and a senior civil servant in the House of Lords tearoom. He was then taken to a private room. The civil servant stated that the dossier was libellous and halted the meeting. Hague denies knowledge meeting Gilberthorpe but a photo of him with Gilberthorpe was published in the Mirror.

A former social services official, David Tombs, told the Mirror that Gilberthorpe’s warnings about a Westminster paedophile network were ignored because there were too many VIPs involved. He said that he also alerted the government after the arrest of paedophile Peter Righton in 1992.

Prime Minister Tony Blair There have been multiple allegations about paedophiles in Blair’s cabinets for many years. See my previous paper 49 for some of these and the earlier item in this paper of one of his ministers.

Blair also covered up an FBI report which identified a number of prominent paedophiles, including some cabinet members through seizing credit card details. This was part of the 1999 paedophile investigation Operation Ore (the American counterpart was Operation Avalanche). 7,250 suspects were identified in the UK; 1850 were charged and there were 1451 convictions.

In 2003, 900 people remained under investigation and the police began to close in on suspects within Blair’s cabinet. The Sunday Herald’s Neil Mackay reported on 19 January that senior members of Blair’s government were being investigated for paedophilia and child porn. It also stated that a senior source in British Intelligence alleged that at least one high-profile former Labour cabinet minister is a suspect. However, Blair quickly put a ‘D’ notice on this, citing national security (see previous paper), and nothing further happened. The news media reported briefly on Operation Ore progress in a few column inches, but nothing on government ministers. 50

Part of the results of the operation showed links between Labour government paedophiles and the trafficking of children for prostitution from Belgium and Portugal (including from the Casa Pia orphanage). Various alternative media sites name one of Blair’s key cabinet ministers as leading this trafficking of children for the pleasure of EU ministers. There are some that affirm that kidnap victim Madeleine McCann was caught up in this (the holiday site was near the Casa Pia orphanage).

Sir Michael Havers Havers was a former Attorney General in Thatcher’s cabinet.

49 ‘Suffer the little children’. 50 Many sources, such as Propaganda Matrix; ‘Alleged paedophiles at helm of Britain’s war machine’, Mike James. 30

He personally warned Geoffrey Dickens not to name Sir Peter Hayman as a paedophile under parliamentary privilege, threatening him for twenty minutes. Dickens would not back down. Havers then played a leading role in the cover up, defending the decision not to prosecute Hayman in 1981.

In 1983 Havers was accused by the Sun Newspaper of withholding information about a convicted paedophile’s membership of PIE during his trial, ‘ to avoid embarrassing security chiefs ’.

As Attorney General, Havers personally investigated complaints from lawyers representing Elm Guest House.

Havers was told in a February 1982 private meeting that a former religious preacher, who was a suspect in the Kincora abuse scandal, walked free because of perjured evidence. Havers was briefed on the man’s links to the home and how a file on his case had disappeared. The meeting also discussed the associated murder of ten-year old Brian McDermott in Belfast in 1973. A confidential note in newly released files 51 said: ‘ It is claimed that influence was brought to bear on the police not to pursue their enquires ’. 52

Havers was also named as being present at paedophile parties for politicians by Anthony Gilberthorpe.

Some have accused Havers as being a paedophile but the public data cannot confirm that. However, it does confirm that he knew what was going on and protected the guilty.

In the light of all this, Cameron and May’s decision to put Havers’ sister in charge of the new overarching paedophile enquiry was shocking and completely stupid. Her resignation was inevitable.

List of men with honours allegedly or actually involved in paedophile activities

We have to say ‘allegedly’ because, despite the masses of witness testimony and circumstantial evidence, certain individuals have died before the law could catch up with them. For example, no one doubts Jimmy Savile’s guilt, the evidence is overwhelming, but he was never proven guilty by a court of law. Also, there are others that have substantial evidence and testimony against them but have been, so far, protected from prosecution.

The point here is that men given the privilege of honours by the Queen are supposed to be people that serve society and do good works. No one expects them to be saints but they are expected to be of normal morals. In fact, there are a large proportion of paedophiles that are men with honours and privilege. I can only list those above that have substantial published evidence against them; there are many more that have been named but hard evidence is yet to be garnered.
